Entertainment Reviews:
The character of Accattone himself, self-destructive and conscious of his situation within a class from which he cannot escape, embodies many of the contradictions in Pasolini's lifetime of coming to terms with Marxism and Catholicism.

Time Out
At once squalid and exalted

The result is uneven, but not without distinction.

New York Times
ACCATONE's street-tough drama celebrates the mythic manifest within the everyday...
Sight and Sound
4 stars out of 5 -- Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1961 debut is a magnificent picture of Roman lowlife....The tone of sordid realism is elevated by superb black-and-white photography.
Uncut
Rating: B- --
presents an even bleaker picture than Rossellini and De Sica

Product Description:
When the girlfriend he pimps winds up in jail, Roman hustler Accattone (Franco Citti) struggles against hunger and guilt in his search for redemption. Pasolini's brutally realistic first feature, assistant-directed by Bernardo Bertolucci, introduces his preoccupation with the marginalized segments of Italian bourgeois society that would characterize subsequent films like MAMMA ROMA and TEOREMA.
